I have athiest friends who are some of the best people I've ever known, but that doesn't mean I'm going to change my religion or my beliefs, because I am who I am. If I really wanted better morals, I'd change my morals. If they're the same morals Christianity proposes, then so be it.
There are also Christians who are some of the worst, most inherently evil people I've ever known.
If you want to be Christian, go for it, but do it because it's what you believe, not what others believe. I'm quasi-Christian, though I disagree with most Christians on a lot of basic tenents of the religion.
I also recommend meditation, Zen-style. Zen is a philosophy, not a religion, and isn't exclusive, meaning you can practice Zen and be Christian without any sort of conflict.

Christianity isn't something you buy in the shop.
Pherhaps there are two important questions:
1. What does my life make sence
2. What's the sence of life. (the goal of life ?)
Question 1 can be answered by any answer.
Any religion might give you the feeling that your life make sence.
If you feel fine by yoga, perform yoga, if you think the muslim faith works fine since you love it to put some rules on yourself, become a muslim. That's fine and it will give your life some sence. It'll give your life more sence than if you would do something you hate.
But question 2 has one solid answer. It's not something that depends on your mood or character.
If there's no God, the sence of life can't be "come closer to god"
If there's a God that sent his son to earth so you can only be saved by worshipping that son, the sence of life can't be desribed by "Follow the muslim laws and cover all women with clothes"
If Inf answers "Christianity" to question one, that's fine, but he's not a christian in that case.
quote: I was raised Christian, but don't believe that Christ is the only way to God, I believe that all religions are basically worshipping the same thing. |
This is a typicall answer to question 1 as well.
What you say doesn't make any sence as an answer to case 2.
If God indeed does exist, and he wants women to be covered and men to grow beards, then the christians aren't worshipping the same god.
If people could only tell the difference between these 2 major questions.
